Reply to comment by gmo_patrol in All unauthorized Airbnb listings in Quebec to be removed from app, company says by girlfreddyf

Causes rents to skyrocket, causes issues for neighbors especially those in the immediate vicinity, breaks up the sense of community and culture neighbors have and pushes lower income people out. Know what happens when you open Airbnbs in a city's China Town? Your city no longer has a China Town.

So air bnb charges more than landlords? Why wouldn't landlords jack up prices as much if they feel they can?

Per day yes. Also you don't need to have a lease or a tenant with rights when it's a bill per day situation.

They do.. Also companies exist that employ algorithms to sell to land leeches landlords to calculate rents/air bnbs/estimated mortgage payments in a given area among other factors to help them jack up the prices every chance they get. It's a big fucking problem.
